A quick update on transfers:

No offers from Saudi or anywhere else for Bernardo or Mahrez in Bernardo's case no chance he'd go anyway

Still no interest in Laporte other than Arsenal who, as I previously said, we wouldn't sell to

Gvardiol will be done any day, deal agreed and with add-on's will be around 85m

Trafford deal all done, 14m + 5m in add-ons

Expectations are there will be at least 3 more arrivals this summer (I'm guessing that'll be based on more outgoings)

I'll let you know more when I have it! :-)

Thanks for the info
Curious why we wouldn’t sell Laporte to arsenal?
Recent history suggests that we won’t stand in the way if a player wants out

One Across, (5,8) Croatian Centre-back

Centa Backovic?

38m from players who've never played for us.

Best run Club on the Planet, doing things the correct way. Not overspending like Arsenal, Chelsea or United.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Be like city academy soon

Good.

Our own little cash cow,and brilliant for the kids concerned.

I suspect we will also be having first dibs on any of their exceptional talent.......like Alleyne :-)

He's still a quality player, that why and why we would have no issue selling Cancelo to them.

Well for all his faults Cancelo is a very good player, and Jesus is a quality player who we were happy to sell to arsenal…

I’m not arguing about whether it’s a good or bad idea to sell to a rival by the way, I’m just noting that Pep has often said he won’t stop players from leaving and we have seen last season that City seem quite happy to sell to arsenal.

They were. Until Arsenal became PL title contenders....

Laporte is several levels above Jesus and Cancelo

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

Looks like Shae Charles is of to Southampton for £9m. That'll be best part of £30m for 2 academy graduates if Trafford moves to Burnley.
Kovicic fee covered!!!!!!!

Arsenal’s best form happened when Jesus was out injured and their fans on Arsenal Mania are less than impressed with Jesus.

Arsenal fans moaning about arsenal players?! Leopards, spots

Mate, it's destroying fans of certain other clubs that we're no longer the big spenders in the league. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we recoup more money than we spend again this window. Sheikh Mansour is starting to get a good return on his investment now

 

[MarcIsTired1986]

I completely trust the club as they rarely get it wrong when it comes to transfers - but it is unsettling that nothing seems to be happening.

• Kovacic was done and dusted months ago
• We made a bid for Rice, got rejected, and pulled out
• Gvardiol seems to have all gone quiet
• No one who I expected might leave seems to be leaving - Silva, Laporte, Mahrez, Cancelo
• Even the usual young players being loaned out isn't happening

We've just won the treble, we now need to defend these trophies and to do that we need quality additions, and dead wood shipping out.

I'm not complaining - just surprised as the players are back in training next week (or the week after?) and we normally have all our transfers wrapped up within a few weeks of the season ending.

We were linked a couple of years ago - talented and creative kid

I have watched a small amount of footage and he looks gifted. His record of 18 G/A in 17 games cannot be underestimated, despite it being in the MLS.
